Introduction

There are no known examples of
Hawes's own handwriting. Extracts from three of his works appear in two
sixteenth-century miscellanies (HaS 1-2, HaS 4). There survives also
a manuscript of an elegy on Henry VIII (HaS 3) which used to be
attributed to John Skelton, but which has been more recently assigned to Hawes
on stylistic grounds.
